  1. OK that's enough about Swihart's trade value...we don't want one of harmony's posts about how little trade value he has, complete with fWAR numbers and links...
  2. Unfortunately, unexpected s***** things happen too.
  3. Here's a pretty good piece by Vaccaro on these new ideas for speeding up baseball: https://nypost.com/2018/02/22/why-are-we-dreaming-up-insane-baseball-rules-in-the-first-place/ Here's his comment on this latest one: But the new apex (or maybe low-pex) was reached thanks to an anonymous baseball executive who texted radio host Rich Eisen the other day, suggesting a new rule that a team trailing in the ninth inning could bypass its batting order and simply send up whomever it wishes. The idea quickly went viral and rapidly caused instant widespread outrage, a trial balloon that quickly turned into the Hindenburg.
  4. It really doesn't matter if ERod is 'overrated'. What matters is he's a 25-year old starting pitcher who has shown promise and is under control for 4 more years on a team that is going to be losing a lot of players over the next few years. He's a valuable asset.
  5. The doc probably had an early golf game.
  6. This may have been true until last year, when you really started going off on Farrell about lineups and such, calling him a clown, idiot, criminally negligent etc. That was when I said you seemed to have morphed into Fred LOL
  7. I'm quite confident Alex Cora will do a fine job with the lineups.
  8. Nick was talking about our 230 M AAV for tax purposes. He said that didn't include Castillo. He's right.
  9. As you said there will be a bunch of tough decisions.
  10. I have very strong doubts that Kimbrel will be in a Red Sox uniform in 2019. He'll be looking for Chapman money and he'll probably get close to it - assuming he pitches well this year.
  11. As far as the MLBPA is concerned, we're the Good Guys this year. Tax be damned. Share the wealth, baby!
  12. Exactly. And we're not talking about a rumor, we're talking about facts not in dispute. With Wright, we don't know what happened at all.
  13. Marrero homered twice in the same game off Quintana last year. It was one of the funniest things I saw all year.
  14. No way should Martinez be booed for a drawn-out negotiation in the weirdest offseason ever.
  15. It's no use, a lot of people love playing here's my lineup for some reason.
  16. Which part of what I said is inaccurate?
  17. The Pollyanna take is that Hanley was hurt in 2015, healthy in 2016, hurt in 2017, healthy in 2018.
  18. As notin said above, these things always get resolved one way or the other.
  19. I can't let this pass either. There's absolutely no evidence Wright laid a hand on his wife in anger, and if there was, it sure as hell wouldn't be something to joke about.
  20. Well, we got cash considerations for Brentz...
  21. My guess is Marrero. Or not.
  22. BDCLIVESMATTER...that's funny...although some may disagree.
  23. Mookie is hitting leadoff to start the season, we already know that.
  24. I think 'sham' might be a little strong of a word. Obviously MLB will allow these types of contracts as long as they're not totally unreasonable. It's not really a big deal if a team is able to trim a little off their luxury tax number - or defer a little into the following year as with the Nunez deal.
